I''m running into a problem with redirect_to() and Apache''s VirtualHost facility. I have probably have something set up wrong, but I''m not even sure how to approach the problem. Background: We have DNS set up to return the domain''s address for all sub-domains. So, "dig xyz.cfcl.com" returns the same IP address as "dig cfcl.com".

Hi all, I have a little function called format_price(price) that simply formats the argument as a dollar sign, dollar amount, dot and penny amount. Then, in a .rhtml file, I could do this: <%= format_price(item.unit_price * item.quantity) %> But where do I put the format_price() function definition? The app couldn''t find it in app/controllers/application.rb. Where do I put it

Hi all, On the rails list I''ve seen that it''s hard to integrate Rails with Apache (especially apache2), that it''s hard to change the default port (3000), and that Apache runs Rails stuff slowly. Is it reasonable to run Rails stuff on Webrick while simultaneously running other stuff on Apache? How does one simultaneously run two rails applications on Webrick, when

On Solaris 10, dtrace''s cwd yields a full path name: # dtrace -n ''syscall:::entry { printf("%s", cwd); }'' 0 1685 pollsys:entry / 0 1381 write:entry /data/homes/guest/rdm ... On OSX, it yields just a directory name: # dtrace -n ''syscall:::entry { printf("%s", cwd); }'' 0 17596 read:entry rdm

Hi all, In re-doing the very first Hello World in the Agile Rails WEb Dev book, I continuously got blank pages, no matter what URL I put in, except when I put http://localhost:3000/ After eliminating everything else, I switched from Mozilla to Konqueror, and the symptom went away. I tried clearing cache on Mozilla, but that didn''t bring it back. I copied and pasted the URL from

I now have a Solaris account and I''ve been able to try out my DT_Logger code there. I ran into several issues, but the one I''m stuck on (though working around :-) is the need for a much simplified siginfo_t definition. I looked at /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h, but I can''t figure out what the maze of #ifdefs would actually resolve to, so I don''t know which data

Josh Goebel''s Pastie is very handy, but it''s proprietary. This means that I can''t hack on it, install a local copy, etc. So, I''m looking around for an Open Source pastebot. I''ve found a few: http://common-lisp.net/project/lisppaste/ http://paste.lisp.org/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/pasteme/

I''ve got a couple of configuration questions about using lighttpd under Locomotive: * (how) can I cause lighttpd to run each Rails page request as a separate process? It seems like this should be possible, using dispatch.cgi, but I don''t know how to get that to run. * Assuming that I have a looong-running Rails app, (how) can I raise the lighttpd

I''d like to find some examples of Rails apps that act as web "user agents" (i.e., "portals" to the web at large). That is, programs that pass requests up and content back down, but also add some local intelligence, etc. Any suggestions? -r P.S. CritLink (http://zesty.ca/crit/) is an example of this sort of application. -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm

[ I''m still hoping for some help with this, folks... -r ] As part of the Arti (http://mephisto-ar.cfcl.com) effort, I''m looking into creating a database to store information on entities and relationships found in Ruby and Rails, as: Method M1 is defined for Class C1 in File F1. Method M1 of Class C1 is used by Method M2 in File F2. Disregarding (for the moment)

Although I don''t _need_ RSVPs for this event 12/28 8:00 pm The Beer & Pizza SIG will meet at Wild Pepper (3601 26th. St.; SF, CA). For details, see http://cfcl/rdm/beer_and_pizza. I''d like to be able to give the restaurant some idea of the size of table we''ll be needing. So, if you are planning to attend, please drop

I am designing an application to run a fishing tournament I am hosting. Each fish entered will be given a point total based on the length of the fish and the species of fish. Each species has a point multiplier. For Example Trout have a multiplier of 10 so a 20 inch Trout would have a score of 200. My conundrum is in where and when do I calculate the points. The options I have come up

This is way offtopic, but I''ve seen this several times recently and it''s annoying me. If you put "HOWTO" in your subject that means that you''re posting a guide on a particular topic. It doesn''t mean that you''re asking a question about "how to" do something. It''s not like it''s a crisis, but it screws up searches

Today we finally opened the doors to "Street Easy" (http:// www.streeteasy.com/), a Real Estate Research Site for New York City. It was built by two guys in three months. It doesn''t have tags, but it has google maps. It rides two bubbles at the same time. It''s like road kill: the price tags will shock you, but you won''t be able to stop browsing around.

Sadly, no South Bay Ruby events have been announced. C''mon, guys, make something happen... 3/14 6:00 pm Beginner''s Presentation - Chris Wanstrath will write a Ruby time server and discuss the code, to compliment Barce''s time server query script [from the Feb. meeting]. Chris says: "Nothing

Although it''s getting late in the month for this announcement, you haven''t missed anything yet (that I know of :-). 2/21 6:00 pm We got a venue! (RSVPs requested, via Meetup) The SF Ruby Meetup usually meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. However, that day turns out to be Valentine''s Day this year. So

Bosco So has located a promising new venue for the SF Ruby Meetup: There is WiFi access to the Internet as well as a large plasma TV/monitor for presentations. In addition to offering caffeine in various forms, they have sandwiches and desserts. Lastly, there are lots of dining opportunities nearby for apres-event chowing. -- http://ruby.meetup.com/6/events/4815812 Meanwhile,
